Like Anadarco, Phillips… Houston is where it is at…. For the next 25 or so years. Even the Koch Brothers must pay homage…

My heart is in Ok, yet my feet are in Houston….

Good Luck….

Don’t believe everything you read.

New construction downtown is making it a great place to work.
Plus they have 4 seasons, not summer all the time. But you have to duck the tornados than hurricanes……

Texas gets you in other areas. Don’t believe the hype.

But our property taxes are a minimum 1/2 that of Texas. So they get you in the end.
